Floating a Wrecked Steamer. —A telegram from Adelaide says the attempt to float the Sorata completely succeeded on Saturday last. On that day it was decided to make a strong effort to get her off. Every donkey-engine was set in motion, and every man was at his post, when the attempt was rewarded by the vessel fairly floating. A sail was then passed under her, nearly stopping the ingress of water. The pumps were started at half-past four, and at nine one pump was found able to keep the water under. The Sorata is at present at the Semaphore Wharf, for temporary repairs ; thence she will be taken either to Melbourne or Sydney. Great praise is given to the officers and men.
